Trenton Councilwoman, Kathy McBride falls for Blue Waffle Disease'

McBride said at Tuesday’s council meeting that she received an “alarming call” earlier in the day.

Think of Smurfs and a Belgian breakfast food.

“A caller asked me, ‘What was the City of Trenton doing about an epidemic that’s called the Blue Waffle Disease?’” McBride said. “I did not have a clue of what that was.”

An easy Internet search would have turned up numerous responses that the infectious disease that supposedly affects a woman’s private parts is fake. There is also no mention of Blue Waffle Disease on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Instead of researching it, McBride asked the young male caller to brief her on it and presented that information publicly.

“It is a disease that’s already claimed 85 lives and it is a case here in the City of Trenton,” McBride explained. “Blue Waffle Disease is supposed to be a virus that is 10 times greater at this point than the AIDS virus.”

McBride then stated she would like to speak to the health department about how many people have been affected with the disease in the city and if the community had been notified.
